These were short shows aimed at pre-school children that had no dialogue, in which they dressed in giant dog costumes.

"We had 24 types of dog costumes," said Sandy Spillo, the general manager.

The character is played in stage productions by an actor in a dog costume.

A dog costume, Danny realized.

The man in the dog costume was still there.

The silver sides of the dog costume bellowsed in and out.

"That's because he has his dog costume on."

"And the shaggy dog costume we found in the back seat...?"

The show featured the actors portraying the roles of the family dogs and wearing dog costumes.

His twist again is that the dog is played, sans dog costume, by a well-proportioned young blonde.
